A new Persona mobile game is developed by Perfect World

Perfect World Entertainment is developing a new mobile game based on the Persona franchise, the publisher confirmed today. Currently titled “Code Name: X”, the new game is set in Tokyo and appears to be set in the same world as Person 5. Indeed, Gematsu quickly determined that the binary code in the trailer translates to “Persona 5X”.

Industry analyst Daniel Ahmad later reported on Twitter that Perfect World has confirmed it will be based on the Persona IP.

The trailer shows a mysterious hooded figure standing on a rooftop in Tokyo, with the famous 109 building in the background. Meanwhile, a hacker downloads a program apparently designed to take control of one of the massive screens near Scramble Crossing in Shibuya. All that’s missing are the words “Hack the planet”.

Have you played Persona 5?

Chinese games company Perfect World has announced that it is working on a mobile game for a famous JRPG IP address.

Although the game is only known as CODE NAME: X, it is very clearly a mobile game based on the Persona IP.

Persona 5 has been popular territory for spinoffs lately. Recent versions include Persona 5 Strikers, awarded by IGN 8 out of 10. No word on Code Name: X’s release date, but only the start of development is currently only confirmed for release in China.

Kat Bailey is Senior News Editor at IGN. She will eventually find the 100 hours it takes to complete Persona 5 Royal one day.
